We have been using BDHSterling for many years to help us manage our SMSF. John Harrower has been easy to deal with and our regular reviews help keep things on track. In the last few years Yasser has assisted John in ensuring our regulatory paperwork is completed and submitted as required. Happy to recommend to anyone needing assistance with a SMSF

I contacted bdhSterling to assist in accessing my defined benefit pension in the UK. They have been very professional and responsive. Daniel advised me of the process and assisted with all the paperwork required. It was a very complex process which was simplified as much as possible by Daniel. Daniel was able to provide me with taxation implications for both the UK and Australia. I am extremely happy with the outcome achieved.

I received excellent help from Daniel at BDH Sterling in transferring my UK pension account to Australia. I could not have done this without his professional advice and expertise. Daniel has been kind, patient and kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend BDH Sterling for this type of service. Thank you Daniel.

Having worked in the UK for some years before moving to Australia, I was a member of a UK company pension scheme. A few friends had suggested that I look into transferring to an Australian Superannuation Fund, however it was not obvious how to proceed or even whether it would be worth the effort. My accountant recommended that I talk to specialists BDH Sterling. I met with Daniel Wentworth at their Perth office and it was immediately apparent that there was a great depth of knowledge and experience at BDH Sterling on this subject. Daniel initiated a thorough review of my individual circumstances and it proved highly beneficial to transfer my UK company pension funds into an Australian Superfund. Daniel also provided valuable information and recommendations regarding my position re UK State Pension. In concert with BDH Sterling's UK office, Daniel arranged for the pension funds to be transferred in compliance with complex UK and Australian rules. I have no hesitation in recommending Daniel and BDH Sterling to anyone considering transferring a UK company pension into an Australian Superfund.

Moving my pension from UK to Australia was quite daunting for me. I engaged with BDH Sterling and I dealt with John Vailes. John was excellent, he explained everything in a very easy to follow manner, maintaining professionalism at all times. Even1.5 years later he was happy to chat with me -at my request- in his own time. I cannot speak highly enough, thank you very much John. Steve in Adelaide.

I engaged bdhSterling last year to transfer my UK pension to Australia. Throughout the process Charlotte was friendly, professional and informative. She ensured that I had the information I needed to make decisions and highlighted the key steps and timelines involved. Although I’m not in Perth, we maintained “face-to-face” contact via Skype meetings which worked well. All in all, I’m very happy with the service I received and intend to continue engaging bdhSterling for my future needs.

The team at bdhSterling, both in the UK and Australia, provided great advice and support in transferring my UK pension to Australia. Throughout the whole transfer process Billy Tomlin was always available to answer any questions and I continue to be impressed with the quality work performed by Billy, Yasser and the bdhSterling team.
